| - Doolittle's Woodfire Grill is overpriced, but tasty. It's location, near East Towne Mall, is a little peculiar given the high prices.
I had the Rotisserie Chicken Sandwich ($10.75) which was delicious. I ordered a side of mashed potatoes, which were also very good. My companions were mostly pleased with their meals, which included the French Dip, Applewood Bacon and Smoked Cheddar Burger and Walleye Fingers. The burger was average, but I was told the Walleye Fingers and French Dip were quite good. One of us ordered the Chopped Thai Salad, and was underwhelmed. Some of the promised ingredients were either missing or barely there. If you list cilantro and pineapple as ingredients, make sure it's on the plate! At $11.50, a salad should be absolutely perfect.
Our server's name was Carrie, and she was fantastic. Drinks were promptly refilled and she was very sweet and accommodating. Our food came out relatively fast, and there were no mishaps at all.
The interior is spacious and modern, and there is a large outside patio area. The patio even has it's own bar, which is unique for Madison. I like that the patio wraps around the building, providing both sunny and shaded seating options.
Overall, it was a good experience. But given that it's a chain and the prices are so high, it's hard to recommend. I guess if you are looking for something new, you can't go wrong, especially on the far east side and its plethora of chain restaurants.
